■Federal Assistance
P Pledged To Restore
■ Fishing Industry
■ The shad and rock fish are on their
|Hway back to the dining table of Mr.
■ Average Citizen, and the restoration
|flof what was once a lucrative indus
9try for the fishermen was planned at
|Ha meeting of special committee from
jjthe Department of Conservation
|Hand Development with Glen C. Leach,
|H chief of the division of fish culture
|H of the United States Bureau of Fish
■ eries. The sessions at Morehead
■ City '»»- Thursday and Friday were
■ held about the flagship of the N. C.
■ Navy, the John Nelson, and were at
■ tended by State Director Bruce Eth
«ridge and his assistant Paul Kelley,
■ State Game Warden John Chalk,
■ State Fisheries Commissioner John
■ Nelson, and Committee members E.
■ S. Askew, of Elizabeth City, Jas. L.
■ McNair, of Laurinburg, and J. L.
■ Horne, Jr., of Rocky Mount
H Evolved from the conference was
Ha pledge of complete Federal assis
■ tance for the effect within the State,
■ a multiplying by three-rold any re-
H stocking efforts ever undertaken in
the State. Included in the plan will
the early assignment to the east-
H em area of a conservation and pro-
H pogation specialist working out of
H the offices of the Federal government
■ at Beaufort who is to make a com
■ plete and exhaustive study of the
■ shad in the streams and sounds and
■ of the enemies of this migratory fish.
■ The support of the North Carolina
■ commission was asked in connection
■ with a proposed conference of Con
■ servation officials from along the At
■ lantic seaboard looking to the pre
■ sentation of a uniform appeal to the
■ next session of Congress for regula
■ tory measures governing migratory
■ fish, modeled along the . lines of the
■ now existing laws as respect migra
■ tory fowl.
■ There was discussion of what was
■ termed as a long range effort to
■ bring the shad back to the waters of
■ the State since it was pointed out
■ that within the present generation
I the annual take had dropped from
■ ten million pounds to less than one
■ million pounds annually, it being
■ pointed out that continued periods of
■ poor catches had rendered the fisher
■ men’s per capita wealth to among
I the lowest in the State, and that an
I application of remedial measures
■ whatever they might be would have
I to of necessity take this into account.
I It was for this reason that the plan
■ ning was confined to the discussion
I stage, although with the help of
H Federal officials it is planned that the
H committee will present for adoption
■ one of several alternatives when the
■ entire board of Conservation and De
■ velopment meets for a called meeting

■ in October.

invaluable. True the days are hot,

not attend your Sunday School first?

EVEN lexicographers—the people
who prepare our dictionaries—
are sometimes guilty of mil takes.
Dr. Samuel Johnson, probably the
most'famous of them all, defined
“pastern,” meaning a tether, as “the
knee of a horse.” When asked by a
lady how he happened to make such
an error,'he replied, “Ignorance,
Madam, pure ignorance.”
The mistake was corrected in the
fourth edition of his dictionary, but
Dr. Johnson never altered his defi
nition- of excise —“a hateful tax
levied upon commodities, and ad
judged not by the common judges
of property, but by wretches hired
by those to whom the Excise is
paid.”
As s result of his bellicose defi
nition, Dr. Johnson narrowly
escaped being prosecuted for libel
by the infuriated Commissioner of
Excise.
